Executive summary
Beer depresses the market
The UK alcoholic drinks market continued its volume and value decline in 2008.
Growth in the cider/perry, wine and spirits sectors was not enough to offset
the ongoing decline in beer, the largest sector in the UK market. Demand for
beer has fallen as older and more health-conscious consumers switch to wine,
and as on-trade volumes shrink thanks to the smoking ban and the ongoing
decline in outlet numbers.
Belt-tightening slows growth
The impact of the credit crunch and the consequent decline in consumer
confidence, failing banks and falling house prices, rising unemployment and
the spectre of recession all had a severe impact on the alcoholic drinks
market in 2008. Beer sales in the on-trade are currently at their lowest since
the Depression, according to the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA).
Consumers are economising by foregoing nights out in the on-trade and trading
down in the off-trade. The development of a larger premium segment in the wine
sector, for example, has weakened considerably.
Pricing polarises the market
The alcoholic drinks market has also seen a growing split in pricing between
the on- and off-trade. On trade prices were driven up in 2007 and 2008 by a
clampdown on promotional activity, rising costs from taxation and transport,
as well as a price hike in hops that could drive the average price of a pint
to £4. Prices in the channel have grown at rates far above inflation.
Off-trade sales, on the other hand, remain defined by the influence of large
chained retailers such as Tesco, whose vast buying power and economies of
scale mean they are able to offer extremely preferential price promotions. The
gap in pricing is such that consumers are deserting the on-trade.
Chains get heavier
The UK market for alcoholic drinks continues to favour chained grocers such as
Tesco, whose development of alternative distribution channels to
supermarkets/hypermarkets, such as convenience stores, garage forecourts and
in particular on-line sales, gives them the upper hand in every part of the
market. This has a severely restrictive effect on average pricing, although
the scale and width of offer carried by these retailers means they dominate
the majority of price positions in alcohol, with the exception of
super-premium products.
Sports events to aid recovery
The market is anticipated to show an erratic pattern of recovery over the
forecast period. Beer' s volume decline is set to slow, and the overall market
will see a marginal recovery in both volume and constant value terms. These
trends will be spurred in great part by the 2010 Football World Cup in South
Africa (the fact that the host country is on GMT means that kick-off times
will fit well with UK drinking patterns) as well as the 2012 London Olympics,
where growth is anticipated to come from heightened levels of tourism from
2011 onwards.
